A rough night for the webmaster last night; my plumbing was
having a parade. I feel better this morning.
Questions from this morning's e-mail:
Q: How are the training jumps going for the teams?
A: Slowly. Most teams are making only two jumps a day. They have
had Style/Accuracy and CF jumping in the morning and FS/FF/SK/FR
jumping in the afternoon. The aircraft are operating under a lot
of restrictions.
Q: Where are the jumpers landing?
A: The FS/FF/FR/SK teams are landing on the NW side of the
airfield and the S&A/CF jumpers are landing at the S&A
area on the W side. They all get bused back to the main area.
Q: When is T1 going to finish his Granada driving adventure
story?
A: I'll have him on it later today. Later: Okay, here
it is.
Q: Will you be firing up the DZTV webcam for this meet?
A: Unlikely. It really needs a dedicated connection, which we
don't have here. If I have time I might see if it works.
Q: Why no photos of Style & Accuracy teams/competitors?
A: Because there are only 24 hours in a day and we like to sleep.
Okay, I know that's a little cold, but it's keeping us swamped
just handling the 130+ other teams here. We love those guys too!

Security is tight. The MP's have REAL billy
clubs.

Today was very long day doing team pages. What a pain in the
*#!%#. Tomorrow, I'll try to get out and see some action. We'll
have official practice going on. And guess what - I got the webcam
going!
